Ollie, who attends Victoria Primary School in Carrickfergus, may one day progress to the circuits and roads, but for now he is planning to dominate on the motocross tracks.

"Back in 2016 Ollie finished runner up in the GR7 championship and the MCCNI club championship on his KTM SX50," explained Ollie's father Kyle.

"He also was leading the Carrickfergus grass track championship and he couldn't attend the last round so he managed to grab on to third in the series.

Ollie is an emerging star of motocross

"At the end of 2016 Ollie started training on his new KTM 65 in preparation for his 2017 season on the bigger bike. His 2017 season started promising as his first race on his KTM 65 he managed to get second in the cadet class."

Ollie's luck came to a crashing halt when he had a bad crash while racing at Dundalk in the GR7 championship, resulting in a broken elbow.

But despite the major setback, Ollie refused to let the injury derail his fledgling career.

He was soon back in the saddle, only to suffer another serious injury which once again kept him off the track.

"He also trains with a qualified motocross coach Davey Mulligan who runs Cornerstone Motocross Academy who puts a lot of hard work in training all the motocross kids.

"Davey helped bring Ollie's confidence back very quickly after both accidents. He has never felt so comfortable on a bike and now uses his friend Rubens saying 'finish the race with a smile on your face'.

"Ollie wants to finish in the top five in the GR7 and MCCNI championships."
